So You Want to Change the System?
Our CARES Fellowship Equips Black early-career professionals to lead in health justice.
BLKHLTH CARES is one of our flagship programs. It’s designed for people starting their careers in public health who want to focus on equity, policy, and community-rooted care.
Public health needs more than credentials. It needs leaders who care deeply, think critically, and move with community. That’s what this fellowship is for.
What you’ll actually get
Paid experience in equity-driven research, policy, and care
Mentorship from people who get it
Training that centers culture, not just compliance
Is this you?
